Do you know where the Eldridge Grade sat in the line-up? ie vs Bear Valley, Pine Mountain etc.

Do you know what the frame is built from?

Cheers

Edit: did a google. Team Marin > Pine Mountain > Eldridge Grade

Could be interested... do you have the original middleburn chainset kicking around?

I'll probably pop it up on ebay if no takers here over the weekend - obviously open to discussion if you think the price is off etc.

I'm trying to find this a new home. It's a Nigel Dean Senator, from (to the best of my knowledge) 1989. Dean built frames up in the North East for Condor and FWE, among others.

Frame is 531 Competition, fork is 531. Sweet fade, kind of a purpleish-pink pearl, into pearl white.

TT is 53cm c/c, ST is 50cm. So more or less a modern 52cm ish?

It's got a full and complete 105 (1050 series) group - so hubs, front mech, rear mech, brakes, levers, chainset, shifters, and I even have the white-leather strapped 105 pedals here, too.

I've just given it a full strip-down and rebuild, with the following new bits:
New Shimano SLR gear + brake outers, with new stainless steel cables
New tyres and inner tubes
New DB brake pads
New Velox leather bar tape + tan cotton finishing tape
New KMC chain.
All bearings cleaned, regreased with SKF grease. Wheels round + true

Rides as it should, and hopefully the photos give the best indication of the overall condition.

I'm in Camberwell, SE5.

How does £375 sound?

After a pair of mechanical 5800 series 105 shifters. I don't really mind which colour they're in, and they don't need to be immaculate - as long as they work alright.

Thankyou, maybe a white saddle would suit it nicely but... will hopefully make a nice bike for someone.

oh and the campag post came up pretty nice with some polish

Someone on ebay selling a bunch of old stock.

They've put their prices up a bit recently though.

They're actually alright. Admittedly this is my first 26er so I don't really have anything to compare them to. But they seem light-ish, and they're a pretty soft and tacky compound.

Apparently my ability to acquire old Nigel Deans knows no bounds. Bought this from a charity shop in Norwich.

Kinda cute, sweet fade. Will be getting a sensitive restoration.

Some nice-ish bits on it. 531C frame, Ti flite saddle, campag aero seatpost, complete 105 group...

Yea I've only really given it a little blast up the road, but it's fun. Way more lively than I expected.

here's a quick photo of it all kind of finished, for now. Will take a few more when I get a chance! as well as build list etc.

Thanks for your kind words.

The V's were just a practical thing for me, to be honest. I think a nice set of cantis would suit the bike better visually, but it stops really well this way and was quick and simple to dial in.

Would definitely be keen to see some pics!

Amazing. Stoked for you that it came through!

38mm SK on the front will be fine, 100%. For me, a 35mm SK on the rear meant I had to cut off all the little injection moulding hairy bits on the tyre to stop them rubbing the stays.

The ones I have here spare are 35mm slick purple. No worries if they're not what you're after - just on the off chance. Pink will look sick.

Excited to see it come together.

Hey, sorry it went earlier today.

I knew she wasn't the one when she wouldn't let me bring my bike in

Can I play

Edit: while it appears practical, it really isn't as it needs to be within my immediate field of vision at all times.

Edit 2: sorry for 700c
